This is an exaggeration.
I leave the live wire capped until just before I start working with it. 🙂
One day I will actually get zapped doing this. It still hasn’t happened.
To: The Actually Squad:
I’ve already pointed out to Mandy that extended, in-wall electrical runs in houses tend to be solid copper, not stranded.
SAFETY NOTICE:
This is another example of “Do what I say, not what I do.”
And I say:
“Turn off the damn electricity.”
My understanding has always been: “The volts don’t matter; the amps kill you.”
“Well how many amp–”
“As low as 0.1amps”
This doesn’t mean high-voltage (greater than 500v) isn’t more dangerous; it is. It’ll cook your insides.
What this means is that 110/220 can still easily cause massive injury or stop your heart if you slip up for even a second.
Fox’s Comment On:
BORING STUFF! FACTS! SCIENCE! WHY ELECTRONS KILL YOU!
It’s not that they don’t like you. In fact, they’re attracted to you!
But they’re just using you to get where they want.
Fox can be a literal tool…
